An 18-year-old Houma man who repeatedly hit his girlfriend and pulled a gun on another man was arrested Wednesday on assault, drug and gun charges, Houma Police said.

Jakhari O’Neal Williams, 300 Antoine St., allegedly struck his girlfriend several times around 3 p.m. and fled the scene, Lt. Dana Coleman said. Shortly after, he was seen shirtless near his home, causing a disturbance. Authorities combed the area but could not find him.

Shortly before 4:30 p.m., Williams was back in the 300 block of Antoine, this time in a fight with another man, Coleman said. Williams then allegedly pulled out a gun and threatened the man with it.

When Williams noticed police had arrived on the scene, he tried to flee, Coleman said. As police searched for him, he was seen exiting a home in the 600 block of Hobson Street. When he saw police, he ran back into the house, dropped a silver Walter PPK gun from his waistband and was arrested.

Two more guns, a stolen Bersa .380 semi-automatic pistol and a stolen Springfield .40 caliber semi-automatic pistol, were found in the residence where he was arrested, Coleman said. Police also recovered several small bags of marijuana from the home.

Williams was charged with domestic abuse battery, aggravated assault with a firearm, illegal carrying of a concealed weapon, possession with intent to distribute marijuana, illegal possession of stolen things, illegal carrying of a weapon in the presence of narcotics and resisting an officer by flight.

He was jailed in the Terrebonne Parish jail on a $3,000 bond for the domestic abuse charge and a $150,000 bond for his other charges.
